Free Acupuncture Raffle: BYO Blanket in February!
2023-02-02 - 2023-02-28 | Boston Acupuncture Project, 74 Fairmount Ave, Hyde Park, MA, 02136, United States
Every time you bring your own clean blankets to your acupuncture appointment (instead of using any of our blankets) from now through February 28, 2023, you will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win 2 consecutive weeks of FREE community acupuncture!
Use both weeks for yourself, OR share the acupuncture love: you can give one week away to one other person.
We recommend packing a clean, reusable shopping bag with a light fleece throw blanket (or two, or three). You can also add a large towel or small pillow which goes on your lap to hold the blanket above any pins that might be placed in your lower legs. If you know you like a blanket for behind your neck, or your head, or over your shoulders – please bring one of those, too!
(If you don’t know, that is how we keep people cozy here: personalized blanket forts.)
Bringing your own blankets helps save us time and money on laundry.
Winner chosen on March 1, 2023 will be contacted by both phone and email, and can then choose when to start the free 2 weeks anytime in the year 2023.

(Please note: winnings are regular community acupuncture treatments during regular hours only. Two weeks = 14 consecutive calendar days. Appointments and masks are required for all redeeming appointments.)

Sleep Better This Spring: herbs for better sleep
2020-02-25 18:30 - 19:30 | Boston Acupuncture Project, 74 Fairmount Ave, Hyde Park, MA, 02136, United States
Class Description
Sleep is medicine. It restores us mentally and gives our bodies time to physically repair our tissues. An estimated 18 million adults in the US use either prescription or over the counter medications to help them get better sleep. For those who would like to explore other options, a more holistic approach is possible.
If you’re someone who doesn’t get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night, herbs could be your ally. In this one-hour community workshop, we’ll talk about common issues surrounding sleep and DIY herbal preparations to address imbalances.
Plants can relax tense muscle, soothe intrusive thoughts at bedtime, and encourage our nervous system to “rest and digest.” We’ll learn strategies for balancing hormones and circadian cycles to encourage healthy sleep/wake cycles. Participants will be able to taste and try different preparations and will be encouraged to try making their own at home!
Presenter
Emma O’Brien is a clinically trained Western herbalist, birth worker and Hyde Park resident. She has been working professionally and personally with herbs as medicine for a decade, and has supported over 200 families in their pregnancy, labor and birth process.
Cost
$15-$25 sliding scale for each person taking the class. You can pay in advance online, or pay with cash or card when you arrive for the class at Boston Acupuncture Project.

Class size is limited to 12, and we need at least 7 signed up to make this class happen. So click the red “Schedule Appointment” button below, select Feb. 25 in the calendar, and enter your information to sign up today!
